Beetlejuice, the self-proclaimed "Ghost with the Most," is one of the most iconic characters of the '80s. After the original movie was released in 1988 and made nearly $75 million on a $15 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo, talks of a sequel began almost immediately. Instead, we got a Saturday morning cartoon from 1989 to 1991, and a relatively short-lived Broadway musical from 2019 to 2020 (with a brief return from April 2022 to January 2023).
